twenty-two weeks new

 

You personality seemed to shine more with every day that passed.

You were finding your voice

and loved to sit and have a really good chat

either with yourself

or with anyone else who would listen.

And my goodness did you like the sound of your own voice.

Now that you knew how to make a noise

it seemed to be your favourite thing to do.

And you were loud too!

You would lie in your cot in the mornings chattering away to yourself

but it definitely sounded more like shouting to us.

You came from a long line of noisy people though

so we guessed we should expect it.

It made us a little bit sad

but your eyes had changed colour

and were no longer the navy-grey they had been when you were born.

They were still beautiful

and now a hazel-grey more like Daddy's

but it just highlighted how quickly you were growing and changing.

And becoming a big beautiful girl

and not just our baby anymore.
